All contests will cost you, but a cost-benefit analysis may enable one to estimate what the returns shall be. Top on the list are:
1.Cash prizes – a very good idea as the contestants are free to decide on what they want to buy with the cash. The prize amount you decide on is dependent on your financial ability and also how attractive it is to get your team interested in participating.
2.Tcredits – everyone needs these for various activities in TripleClicks. But how many Tcredits to put up as a prize so as to make everyone really interested?
3.Reassignment of PSAs – This only works to motivate your team if those reassigned are active already. Imagine being reassigned only one-time loggers! Team Leaders should be careful with this tool as your downline may feel you are offloading tyrekickers on them.
A few points to consider when setting up contests:
1.Your team is at different levels of growth, upgrade the value of your prize from one level to another (e.g. EA, BTL,STL, etc) in order to recognize effort and to enhance participation.
2.Duration of the contest should be so as to allow everyone to participate. I believe starting a contest at the beginning of the month and running it for a minimum of 3 months is good enough
3.Your contests should be worded in such a way that there is no room for misinterpretation. Be very clear on the conditions to be met if one is to win and what is the prize
4.Keep your word! Award prizes as promised. Do not keep on shifting goal posts as you will confuse your team, put others at undue advantage/disadvantage, seem unprepared and generally put your leadership abilities up for criticism
5.Have a budget in which you expect everyone to participate. This way you will run the contest with ease.
Congratulations to all those who run contests, its inspiring to have real leaders ready to give so much more to attain team success.
